Flood in Saint-Denis: help the Sunrise neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Sunrise neighborhood are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 13 May. My home was one of 80 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $5,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,800
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,500
• Food parcels for displaced families: $710
• Clean water and purification supplies: $840
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
You're not alone, Colette. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Hyderabad donated after I showed her your page. All the best!
